Observability with Elasticsearch

Elasticsearch, the leading search engine and real-time analytics platform, can scale to hundreds of nodes and easily accommodate huge amounts of data while still preserving sub-second query latency. This talk provides an overview about the observability story on top of the Elastic Stack (ELK).

The ELK stack is widely used to store logs from operational systems. But we can do way more than that! Over time users started putting metrics into Elasticsearch, and Elastic introduced Metricbeat for automated collection of metrics. Similarly, uptime data has been a highly valued type of data alongside logs and metrics. Now Elastic APM (Application Performance Management) was introduced to add tracing directly to an application.

We will go through all these pieces in the talk and show some demos on how those work in practice. How can you then, “observe” and “act on” your production system with the Elastic Stack.
